Which outcome occurs when manipulating an electron microscope’s objective lens function beyond designed aberration corrections?

💡 Explanation

Aberrations are distortions; manipulating the function beyond correction introduces more distortions because spherical aberration increases the blurring. Therefore image crispness degrades rather than enhances contrast. Specimen damage and x-ray sensitivity are largely unrelated.
